Description
The Knog Scout is an airtag product customised for use on a bicycle or electric bike.
We’re very happy to have it in stock at EBT in Auckland as it offers a flexible tracking solution with no ongoing cost. It is also very small and light and can be used both as an overt security device to deter theft, complete with alarm option, or as a hidden device to help track the bike down in the event of theft. In general we recommend the overt option.
We can help fit this to your bike if you visit our store, or you can simply purchase it and install yourself – it’s quite simple. Setting up the tracking side of it requires an iPhone, so if you’re an Android phone user, this product has more limited value to you.
From the manufacturer:
We understand that your bike is a prized possession and leaving it unattended, even when secured, can be risky. Scout provides unparalleled Bike security by combining both an extremely loud 85db bike alarm function with a highly accurate bike finder, using Apple’s ‘Find My’ app. The future of bike security is here. Take Bike Security To Another Level Once armed, any movement of a Scout fitted Bike will trigger the motion-sensitive audio alarm discouraging any further movement and alerting the bike’s owner, both by the sound of the alarm and via a notification that is automatically sent to the owner’s iPhone (when in Bluetooth range). Then in a scenario where a bike fitted with Scout is not where the owner has left it, it can be quickly located using Apple’s network via the ‘Find My’ app. Compatible with iOS only Motion-sensitive 85 db audio alarm for immediate deterrence Can be located quickly using Apple’s ‘Find My’ app Operated using Knog’s iOS app Mounts to standard water cage braze-ons Can be mounted under water cage for discretion Use supplied anti-tamper screws to mount securely Neon silicone cover provided to advertise security device (if desired) Arm / disarm using button (within 1.5 m) or app within bluetooth range LEDs show alarm status & battery charge USB-C rechargeable with 6 month battery life (cable not included) Water resistant IP66 rating (wash-proof) Weighs just 25 grams If you want peace-of-mind that you’ve done everything you can to secure your bike, Scout is an essential piece of kit. Dual Function LEDs Scout feature’s dual function LEDs that show at a glance if the Scout is alarmed. The same LEDs display the charge status of the battery. Arming Scout Is Quick & Easy Arming or disarming the Scout alarm is made simple and can be achieved in two ways; via the button on the side of the device when the connected iPhone is in close proximity (< 1.5 m) or via the Knog app when the device is within Bluetooth range. Mounting & Securing With Scout, there’s the choice of overt or discreet security. To advertise that the bike is fitted with Scout, simply use the neon yellow silicone cover provided. For more discreet security, attach Scout to the bike via the bottle cage mounts using tamper-proof security screws without the cover. Mounting With A Bottle Cage Scout’s extremely low profile and compact design allows for it to be neatly bolted and hidden underneath a bottle cage. This is a great way to keep Scout hidden.
